Maptitude® On-Line Training

Introductory Maptitude: Lesson 1

Maptitude Basics
1.4 What You Can Do with Maptitude: Share Information
  • Work with geographic files in a multi-user environment
  • Uses tabular data directly
  • Show multimedia and other files associated with map features

Many users can view the same geographic files at the same time, and you can even have multiple users editing a geographic file simultaneously. This helps your group use the latest data available.

Rather than importing tables and working with a copy, Maptitude opens many common file formats directly, such as dBASE files, and opens many others indirectly via Open Datatbase Connectivity (ODBC), a Windows standard for accessing tabular data.

Maptitude makes it easy to attach all kinds of information to features on a map. By placing the correct information in a geographic file, you can link map features to pictures, video, or sound files, or to sites on the World Wide Web. Maptitude also lets you link individual map features to Microsoft Office documents, such as Word or Excel files or any other file that you can open from the Windows Explorer or other file manager.
